About this book

Every language gives its speakers ways to express causal relations. This volume looks at the linguistic tools that mark causal construals, including causal connectives and causative auxiliaries, and asks how those tools work in discourse.

The central question is how far such causal patterns belong to one culture or language, and how far they reflect general human cognition. Linguists and cognitive scientists both take up the issue, and the volume gives them a shared set of examples to work from.
